CCD Postdoc Exchange Scheme

To promote and reward the significant contributions that ARC Centre of Excellence in Cognition and its Disorders (CCD) early career researchers make each year in their research fields, up to two (2) CCD Postdoc Exchange Awards ($12,500 each) will be offered for applications from outstanding early career researchers for highly productive laboratory visits.

Our early career researchers will get the opportunity to participate in a national or international research exchange visit to provide them with additional research training and mentoring in their career. The enhanced research training and increased collaboration will benefit the successful applicants and enhance our Centre.

Check you have contact details for travel security assistance schemes (if provided by your institution - for example International SOS).

Check phone roaming/data plans or local mobile phone alternatives.

Remember to advise your home department if you change your plans/accommodation.

Do I put per diems on top of this?

Per diems should be included in your total budget for living allowance costs.

Do I have to go to just one place? Can I do one week at one institution and another week at a different institution?

The intention of the scheme is that you complete an extended visit at one lab/institution that will benefit your research progress and the wider Centre, but applications will be assessed on case by case basis. Strong justification must be provided if the application is requesting numerous short lab stays.
